Check out: “Florida Birding”, A Guide to the Best Birding Locations in the Sunshine State. It is very comprehensive and contains a ton of information about many, many birding/ photography sites. It is more reasonably priced and available at http://floridabirdtours.com/index.php/product-category/books/print-books/

Have fun!!

Number 2 is my choice BUT, back off on the processing.

Overall, nice shots.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Stunning work.

Don't jump too quickly -- about 1 1/2 years ago I bought a refurb direct from Nikon for 20% off. Now I very often see 10% off and I wonder if Nikon has learned that they do not have to offer any higher discounts.

Nice camera work. Not easy to catch that kind of action.

Many people do not seem to realize that nature is not the nice sweet world they live in. It is mostly eat or be eaten.

Thank you, Jerry. You are right about the "many components", including a tripod and luck. :)

Thanks Torchman; I appreciate your looking and generous comment.

Thanks very much Gray Ghost, I appreciate it.

Say, do you recognize the snow bunting in this pic?

Thanks CanonTom, very generous of you. You can not see it, but I am blushing.

Thanks so much, dpullum; I greatly appreciate your kind words.

You might also like to see my previous post on a peregrine I shot (repeated below for convenience):
Peregrines, also known as Duck hawks, are fast flyers so I consider myself very lucky to have captured one going after a couple ducks. This peregrine was really moving and, as you can see, the ducks took its presence very seriously by diving as quickly as possible to avoid the peregrine’s strike. The ducks dove so fast that they kicked up lots of water trying to submerge. Interestingly, some ducks seemed to know that they were being targeted and some knew just to be on guard. To say the least, I am extremely grateful to have experienced this wild show of nature. These photos are presented via a link because one should see them as a series. View them full screen and enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words, ejfin. I usually keep the shutter speed at 2000 or above while trying to keep the ISO as low as possible. As far as tips go, I am sure that you have read them already from many others; I have no magic. The best tip is encouragement to get out and shoot as much as possible. Time of year depends more on where you are. Search ebird and other sources for eagles spotted near you. Good luck!

Thanks for the compliments vonzip. The fish fell into the water and the one eagle went right after it as seen in this shot.

As with my peregrine photos, Fast BIF, (now in the "Links and Resources" section), these shots were also made with the Nikon 600mm on a D500. They are mostly eagles because that was my goal, however; I did include some other shots as well simply because they were made on the same outing. I apologize for the several out of focus or poor looking shots, but most were taken at great distances and cropped. I included them because I liked them or felt that they completed the story. The story seems to be that survival is generally tough and somewhat gruesome.

Thanks to all for your generous comments; I appreciate it. I just wish that I had better post processing skills. That is my weakness.

These were shot with a Nikon 600mm f4 mounted on a D500. And yes, BIF are difficult, especially this one. I think its horizontal flight was faster than a kingfisher’s. Using the D500, which is the fastest AF camera that I ever used, made decent captures a possibility.
